Transition from positive to neutral in mutation fixation along with continuing rising fitness in thermal adaptive evolution.

Transition from positive to neutral in mutation fixation along with continuing rising fitness in thermal adaptive evolution.

It remains to be determined experimentally whether increasing fitness is related to positive selection, while stationary fitness is related to neutral evolution. Long-term laboratory evolution in Escherichia coli was performed under conditions of thermal stress under defined laboratory conditions. T...
